PART B: ANSWER TwO(2) QUESTIONS ONLY

Q4 (a)

Define the meaning of reverberation room and anechoic room. Illustrate your answer with
diagram or picture
(6 marks)

O)

The noise level at a site on which it is proposed to build a housing estate arises mainly
from trains on a nearby railways line. There are three Upes of train using the line which
are fast express trains, slower suburtan trains and freight trains. It is proposed to predict
the equivalent continuous noise level at the site over a 24 hours period from sample noise
measurement of each of the three noise events. The results of these measurement are:
For fast trains, L.n: 85 dB(A) over a period of 12 seconds
For slow trains, L"n:78 dB(A) over a period of l8 seconds
For freight trains, L"n:76 dB(A) over a period of 24 seconds

Dwing the 24 hours period there are 120 fast trains, 200 slow trains and 80 freight trains.
Calculate the equivalent continuous noise level over a 24 hours period.
